MANSFIELD-DARLINGTON


Having discussed Darlington's defensive problems at the weekend, we profited from the "over" in that game, which ended 2-2.

After the match, Shrewsbury manager Gary Peters said "Darlington are very good but we made them look poor and were unfortunate not to have something like a 10-2 score".

They still have problems at the back, Hutchinson, Close and Collins have all failed to recover from injuries. Quakers boss David Hodgson claims the squad are very tired following a hectic run of fixtures.

Mansfield also drew 2-2 at the weekend and missed TWO penalties, they had many, many chances to win the game and I think we can expect goals tonight.

Field are yet to keep a clean sheet this season and all their games have averaged 3.0 goals, Darlington's a little lower at 2.80.

Both teams create plenty of chances, only Hartlepool have had more attempts on goal than Darlington, who have also hit the woodwork 6 times. Mansfield have had the 4th highest number of shots on target, a statistic which belies their lowly league position.

4 points Mansfield-Darlington over 2.5 goals 1.98 asian line.

This is the second time I have typed this, lost the first one in cyberspace, is that the most annoying thing that can happen ? Seems such a waste of time to type the same thing twice, it never seems as good the second time either.

Back shortly.

Good Luck.
